From Nabawanga Rose, Head of Staff at God’s Love
As l stepped into the world of God's love for children's ministry, I knew l was in for a journey of a lifetime. The warm smile of the staff and the friends across the world, the curious eyes of the children, and the sense of community that filled the air all drew me in. l had decided to volunteer, and little did I know that experience would change me in ways I never thought possible.
My first day was of introductions and getting to know the children. They were full of help with the younger kids and as I played with them, I saw the world their eyes full of wonder and excitement.
As the days turned into weeks, I began to form strong bonds with the children. They would share their stories, dreams and fears with me. l listened, offered words of encouragement and cheered them on as they achieved small victories. We played games, did crafts and had picnics together. with each passing day. I felt my heart growing more connected to these precious lives.
There were moments of challenge too. Some days were tougher than others, and I faced moments of frustration and doubt. But the staff’s support, the children's resilience, and the ministry's love and care helped me push through. I saw the children face their own challenges and with patience was powerful for growth and Through my experience , I discovered a sense of purpose and meaning, working with the children. I realised the importance of patience, empathy, and understanding. I learned to see the world through their eyes and appreciate the beauty of simplicity.
As I navigated the challenges of volunteering. I grew both personally and spiritually. I developed new skills, such as communication and problem-solving and I became more confident in my abilities. Most importantly, I learned to approach life with a sense of humility and gratitude.
The relationship I formed with the staff and children were a highlight of my time at the ministry. I was inspired by the staff's dedication and joy was contagious. These connections taught me the value of community and the impact we can have on each other's lives.
